General Description

• 4-Aminobutyric acid is a γ-amino acid and monocarboxylic acid derived from butyric acid

• It is an amino acid that shows inhibitory activities against neurotransmitters, including GABA, and acts by binding GABA-A receptor and inhibiting the activity of signal-receiving neurons

• This compound, converted from neurotransmitter glutamate, is essential to regulate neuronal excitability

• It binds to GABA-A and GABA-B receptors, causing ion channel opening, hyperpolarization, and eventually inhibition of neurotransmission

Applications

• 4-Aminobutyric acid has been used in the preparation of GABA–BSA (bovine serum albumin)–GA (glutaraldehyde) conjugate, which is used as a control for immunohistochemical experiments

• It is used, in vivo, to detect GABA neurotransmitter by magnetic resonance spectroscopy

• This compound increases the production of short-chain fatty acids and decreases pH values in mouse colon

• Some in vivo experiments, using rats, mice, and pigs, demonstrated that 4-Aminobutyric acid can modulate intestinal fluid secretion, blood flow and ulceration
